If on a winter’s night a traveller
Calvino's classic dramatised by Tim Crouch and Toby Jones recorded in front of an audience for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Contains Strong Language Festival for 100 years of Radio Drama Celebrations.
Relax. Concentrate. Turn that phone off. Dispel every other thought. In fact let the world around you fade. You are about to listen to a radio adaptation of Italo Calvino’s iconic masterpiece If on a winter’s night a traveller….
Enter a labyrinth of ingeniously inventive audio worlds as you, the listener, turn detective in your attempts to get to the heart of the story and so become embroiled in a trans-global conspiracy of rogue translators, lost languages and disintegrating publishing houses. You, yes you, the heroic listener are plunged into an epic caper of disappearance, double crosses and beautiful, authentic romance.
A multitude of characters are brought to life by Toby Jones, Indira Varma and Tim Crouch in Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Audio Drama North's premiere of Italo Calvino's iconic post modern novel translated by William Weaver, dramatised for radio by Tim Crouch and Toby Jones and directed by Nadia Molinari.
If on a winter's night a traveller has been recorded in front of an audience at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Contains Strong Language Festival at Leeds Playhouse as part of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's 100 years of Radio Drama Celebrations.
